On Saturday the Ragbrai route was announced for this upcoming summer. It’s the bike ride that Daryl and I go on for a week and it is fun! It’s also a lot of work, to be honest, but also a good time. Thinking about the ride and predicting if the weather will be hot or cold, there is no way that we could get the heat that we had last year. It also looks like it’s a shorter ride, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if the weather will cooperate. So I got on the bike trainer tonight and realized that I will need to be a frequent visitor to the trainer if I want to get into shape. It probably doesn’t help that I ate three snicker ice cream bars when I got home from work and polished off the left over noodles in the refrigerator. This was all before supper. To my defense, they were the small ice cream bars and not the regular size!
It’s going to be February soon and sometimes this can be a very long month for bad weather, even though it’s the shortest calendar month. All the schools in our area were cancelled today. They started out to have 2 hour delays with the ice on the roads, and then when the fog rolled in they all pretty much cancelled. Oh well, with the bike set up in the Road House on the trainer, and the knipco heater cranked, we’ll just have to think warm summer thoughts.
Chilly way to start the day the morning
